Cybersalt News
Sunday greetings everyone!
Grandma Cybersalt and I had half a dozen or more birds in a tree on Friday. The cherries in our cherry tree have started to ripen, which means the Robins and Starlings have been helping themselves — and not even with any sort of manners. They’ll take one bite out of a cherry and leave the rest to rot on the branch. So we put up those white nylon nets, the ones we used last year that worked beautifully.
This year, apparently, the nets look an awful lot like spider webs to the little caterpillar-and-spider-eating birds. When we got up Friday morning, there they all were, trapped underneath, and none of them looked like they had the slightest idea how to get out. All day long they tried. By dusk there was still one little fellow stuck inside, so I went out and pulled open a section of the net to give him an exit. He looked at the opening, looked at me, and promptly scared himself down to the bottom of the tree where the net doesn’t reach — and out he flew. Today there were no birds in the net at all. Apparently, they can learn.
Today’s video share is a song I heard yesterday that hit me hard. I’m not a Christian nationalist, and this song says, better than I can, why that is.

In my career as a lumberjack, I have chopped down exactly 85,696 trees.

Communion
Little Johnny was in church when the wine and wafers were passed out. His mother leaned over and told him that he was not old enough to partake in the Communion.
When the basket was passed around she leaned over once again to tell him to drop his money in, but Little Johnny held his dollar firmly in his hand, stating...

What If I Don't Want to Act My Age
Throughout my life, I have often heard people telling other people what they should be or do. I do not know where they get the right to say that about other people.
I first encountered this attitude with my mother. She would often say to me, "Son, you need to start acting your age." At the time, I did not know what she really meant by that.

We think Cybersalt's collection of Christmas jokes is the best collection on the net. Right now it features over 70 jokes.
Over the years, some of the most popular pages on the Cybersalt site have featured Funny Cat Pictures. We have to admit that even though cats often look at humans like they owe the feline world something (remember dogs have owners and cats have staff), cats aren't as bad as a lot of the press that they get.
Some say the world can be divided into two types - cat people and dog people. For the cat people of the planet, Cybersalt has the
